We Will Not Raise Future Technicians With Chalk in Their Hands!
The European Union has been still battling with the consequences of economic and financial crisis and signs of stabilization have been still weak. Businesses are concerned by expensive energy, lack of skilled people and uneasy access to finance.
These were the topics discussed by the Czech companies with the Czech Ambassador to the EU Martin Povejšil and Jakub Mazur from his team, MEP Michaela Šojdrová and Jan Pánek from the European Commission on Oct. 15. “Forms and types of State interventions differ across the EU which render cross- border activity difficult for energy companies”, said Pánek. “We have 30 funding schemes for energy renewables in 28 Member States!” he stressed. In the afternoon Czech businesses participated at the European Parliament of Enterprises organized by EUROCHAMBRES.
This event gives European businesses the opportunity to raise their voice regarding EU legislative proposals that concern them the most.
